1 P ERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL CONDITIONING A NEWSLETTER DEDICATED TO IMPROVING VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS The 10 Considerations of Strength Development Part 2 Focus on Alignment, Symmetry and Upper Body Mike Arthur, M.S.C.C., University of Nebraska-Lincoln Coach Arthur is a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach and is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable strength coaches in the nation. Mike has been instrumental in developing the University of Nebraska into one of the premier collegiate strength and conditioning programs in the country for the past 25 years. He now coordinates the workout programs for student-athletes in all 22 Nebraska sports except football. His years at Nebraska directing the development of thousands of athletes have produced many advances in the strength programs used by athletes around the nation. His research helps Nebraska stay on the cutting edge and allows NU athletes to further develop their skills and talents. Among his many honors, Mike was named the 1995 National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year and in 2003 the board of directors selected him for the USA Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame. His vast experiences and unique practical research role at NU have allowed him to formulate this revolutionary approach to body mechanics and strength training. [Ed.] I BGN INT ADV Mike Arthur n part one, we introduced you to the first five considerations of strength development based on Ron Huska s teaching from the Postural Restoration Institute found online at For readers of this publication, the foundation of postural restoration can be found in the excellent eight-part series on the new off-season authored by Lisa Bartels. We will take a look at the final five considerations in this issue. The final five considerations refer to the illustrations we used in the last issue. Figures 22 thru 25 illustrate the sixth consideration of strengthening the adductors. Consideration 7, not doing overhead lifts, may be a little controversial (Figure 26). When an athlete does overhead lifts, they go into back extension. I said in part one that strengthening the back extensor muscles is a big no-no because the lats are too tight for this back extension. It is not bad to do overhead lift if the athlete can engage their abs and stay out of back extension. I would recommend to just leave them out. Why do you need them in sports? If you lift overhead with lats too tight and strong, they become back extensors that pull the scapula and arm out of whack. This can be a big problem for the throwing athlete. Another example is if athletes do cleans, you often see they have trouble racking the bar. The reason is not tight elbows, wrists or big biceps it is tight lats. Consideration 8 (Figures 27 to 30) says to strengthen the triceps and lower traps. The triceps third head attaches to the scapula to help stabilize it and the rib cage. The same is true for the lower traps. Most athletes have upper traps that are overworked, thereby lifting the shoulders up and weakening the lower traps. If you work the lower traps, this is in opposition to working the overhead lifts which help put the scapula in correct position on the athlete s rib cage. Consideration 9 (Figures 31-35) stretches the pecs and lats as they relate the first eight considerations. Pecs get overworked in most strength programs. When athletes do lat pull downs they think that it is the muscle group that opposes the chest, but that is false. If you think in three planes of motion, the pecs (especially horizontal) adduct the arms toward the body s midline along with the lats. They both attach to the humerus on the front part, almost at the same spot, with both being internal rotators. The only difference is that the chest flexes the arm and the lat extends the arm. If you look at most traditional strength programs the pecs, lats and upper traps are overworked and cause muscle imbalance; however, if you do work them, be sure you stretch them. Most Olympic lifters do not include lat and pec work in their training because it limits range of motion in the shoulder joint.
2 The final consideration (Figures 36-42) says to include single-leg exercises. This is in reaction to the fact that most strength programs incorporate the squat, which is a different type of movement from the single-leg exercise. If you stand and work on one leg, you incorporate more abductor and glute muscles to stabilize the leg. You use more adductor and quads when you squat. Your legs become sore when you do single-leg exercises but not when doing squats. You want to work the glutes which are hip extensors. The hip flexors are the muscles that cause problems as they get overworked and overused. These are the 10 considerations of strength development with focus on alignment, symmetry and the upper body. Together they create a simple approach to strength training an athlete while avoiding asymmetric development which is a leading cause of injury. O 1. Lie on your right side with legs bent ninety degrees and ball place between knees. 2. Inhale through nose as you pull left leg back. No not rotate shoulder back. 3.
